Eagle Crest Golf Course - Nine Course

This facility offers an eighteen hole course and a nine hole course. The nine hole design has large greens and wide, open fairways. There are no sand bunkers and two or three water hazards. This course caters mainly to beginning players. The eighteen hole course offers a multitude of water hazards in the form of ponds, creeks and streams. The abundance of trees create many obstacles and therefore calls for precision golfing. The signature hole is #4, a 350-yard, par 4, featuring creeks on the right and left sides as well as in front of and behind the green. A large number of trees also makes for a difficult approach shot.

Course Reviews

Pleasant Valley Golf Course"Family Fun"Every time I go there I feel right at home, maybe it's because my whole family goes there to golf. The Owners are so friendly and welcomes everyone. It really is a great place to golf!---Kelli, Seward, PA USA

Fox Creek Golf Club"A Best Buy in StLouis Metropolitan Area"I will start by saying that while I am only 24 years old, I have been an avid golfer since age 7. I haven't played a huge number of courses in my lifetime, but I know a good course when I play one, and I know a bad course as well. I personally feel that this course plays better than the more well known Sunset Hills CC also in Edwardsville, while not requiring membership/friendship to play. I've played the Bay Point Lagoon Legend in Panama City (known to be one of the 5 toughest courses in the US), and I truly don't think it has much on Fox Creek difficulty wise. The trees alone on Fox Creek truly play havok with any shots that aren't riding the middle of the fairways. Several greens have large trees that block approach shots that aren't setup off the tee correctly. A smart player will leave his driver in the bad on most tees (unless you are confident in your big stick), however, due to the course's length, approach shots end up being taken with mid-to-long irons more than one would like. Couple this with water or OB on nearly every hole and multi-tiered undulating greens and you are looking at one tough course. The best part about this course is the low price. You can play for dirt cheap in my opinion for as fine a course as this one. The only knock in my book is that the course does not wear well through the year, either due to climate or an average greens-crew. So if you want to play a great course for a bottom dollar price, come early in the year (April-May). I promise you won't be disappointed.---David Johns, Edwardsville, IL, USA

Stevens Park Golf Course"Classic Muny"Stevens is only a few minutes from downtown. It's in a beautiful area and has some scenic views of Dallas. It's a classic muny and a good course to walk.
There are many challenging holes and there are some very easy holes. Number 2 is a very short par 4 and is reachable from all of the tees.
Number 12 is a short par 5 dog leg that is reachable in 2 but there are many well placed trees and an elevated green with a mean slope and you'll be happy if you get your 5.
There are a few holes where you can hit your drive as far as you can but most take some strategy off the tee. On 17 you can hit 220 yards straight away or 140 yards to the right side of the fairway and both will leave an open short iron shot to the green... if you avoid two beautiful oaks and a wide creek on that tee shot.
The par 3's are gorgeous and the two on the back are included in the 3 hardest on the back nine handicap chart.
Stevens Park is a favorite, great taquitos in the snack bar too.---John Meiners, Dallas

Aquia Harbor Golf & Country Club"great for the novice"I think this is a great course for beginners. Its inexpensive and forgiving in a lot of areas. No water hazards mean you won't lose a lot of balls. All and all a good course to practice on or to enjoy with a friend.---vagolflover, va
